“Canadian icon Gordon Pinsent: A master of his craft and a symbol of Canadian values!” by Scholz

O, Gordon Pinsent, thou art gone,
To join the great beyond,
A legend of Canadian stage and screen,
Whose talents did astound.

As Trudeau penned of Northen’s loss,
So too we mourn thy passing,
And pay tribute to thy life well-lived,
With hearts that are amassing.

Thou wert a master of thy craft,
Like Atwood, Cohen, and Moore,
A shining star in Canada’s sky,
Whose light will shine no more.

Yet we shall not forget thy name,
As we recall our greats,
For thou hast left an indelible mark,
On Canadian arts and fates.

So let us raise our voices high,
And sing a mournful dirge,
For Gordon Pinsent, who now rests,
In Canada’s great, eternal verge
